Kisah Para Rasul 17:30

17:30 Therefore, although God has overlooked ⁵  such times of ignorance, ⁶  he now commands all people ⁷  everywhere to repent, ⁸ 

[13:24]  ¹ tn Grk “John having already proclaimed before his coming a baptism…,” a genitive absolute construction which is awkward in English. A new sentence was begun in the translation at this point.

[13:24]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the context for clarity, since God is mentioned in the preceding context and John the Baptist in the following clause.

[13:24]  ³ sn John refers here to John the Baptist.

[13:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “a baptism of repentance”; the genitive has been translated as a genitive of purpose.

[17:30]  ⁵ tn Or “has deliberately paid no attention to.”

[17:30]  ⁶ tn Or “times when people did not know.”

[17:30]  ⁷ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[17:30]  ⁸ sn He now commands all people everywhere to repent. God was now asking all mankind to turn to him. No nation or race was excluded.
